Political Tensions Flare in Telangana: Reddy Challenges Rao

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy challenges K T Rama Rao to proceed legally regarding AMRUT scheme tender allegations. Reddy accuses Rao of corruption during the BRS regime and claims Rao's Delhi visits aim to shield himself if the governor permits an FIR. The political feud intensifies with Rao demanding a central probe.

Telangana's political landscape is heating up as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy confronts BRS working president K T Rama Rao over allegations linked to the AMRUT scheme tenders. Reddy, speaking in Delhi, urged Rao to take legal action if there have been any discrepancies and accused him of launching counter-offensives to distract from his own alleged corrupt activities during the Bharat Rashtra Samithi regime.

Furthermore, Reddy claims that Rao's recent visits to Delhi are strategic moves to protect himself should the governor authorize an FIR against him. Meanwhile, Rao's demand for a central investigation into purported irregularities of AMRUT scheme tenders totaling Rs 8,888 crore intensifies the political drama, as he alleges preferential awarding of contracts by the chief minister.

The clash renders the clandestine connection between the BRS and the BJP more apparent, with Rao's outreach to BJP ministers being under scrutiny. As political tensions rise, Reddy disapproves of BRS leaders who defend attacks in Vikarabad district, reinforcing the state government's commitment to taking strict measures against sector-related violence.
